Q & A: How Do I Get Started Becoming a Screenwriter? Friday January 16, 2009#spacer{clear:left}#abc #sidebar{margin-top:1.5em}zSB(3,3)Phil, I am a former producer for local and national TV (news, sports, entertainment, corporate) and I enjoy writing in general. I have an B.A. in English and Im told by coworkers and casual friends that I have a talent for writing. Ive always been a film fanatic, especially the golden age era of the industry. The recent influx of film production [in my home state] and the daily media stories about Hollywood icons such as Clint Eastwood and George Clooney filming here have spurred me to seriously pursue my interest.
